The majority of people aren't living paycheck to paycheck. Consumer surveys that purport to show that conflate those who are actually poor with those who are affluent but choose not to save any money because they prefer to spend it on investments or luxury car leases or private school tuition.
I'm always interested in how reality can be different from the popular notions. Sure, they have plenty of geothermal energy but it's not free to turn that heat into electricity. And many other things are pretty expensive on that island so it's not surprising that the cost of generators and other machinery is also expensive.

But we can dream that it's free, right?
Not sure. In post-WWII Warsaw in Poland, a similar pattern was employed (of very broad boulevards). Allegedly so that even after the city is nuked, there is enough space for two-way traffic between the rubble.
My opinion after reading HN for quite a while is that your average HN poster is well educated and knows a lot of theory but struggles with ethics. Perhaps even seeing a debate against ethics as a game to be won.

Reagan’s first 2 and a half years also were setting the stage for the growth of the 80s and 90s by taming inflation with very high interest rates and a painful recession. Reagan would have lost by a lot if his gamble hadn’t paid off but instead by 1984 strong growth had begun and he won in a landslide.
A law by the government requiring proactive scanning of photos would in fact make the whole situation worse in the US because there would need to be a warrant if the government is requiring the scan. As long as it's voluntary by the company and not coerced by the government, they can proactively scan.

When you compare Carter with the guy who's going to take office next month it shows how far we've fallen as a country. The previous era was already passing since about 2016, but with the death of Carter it seems like that era has died with him and it just feels very depressing.

Can you provide documentation demonstrating this requirement in the United States? It is widely understood that no such requirement exists.

There's no need to compromise with any requirement, this was entirely voluntary on Apple's part. That's why people were upset.

Ironically a result of rejecting Carter's proposal. Carter wanted a general ME conference. When Sadat heard of it, he decided it couldn't lead to peace as extremist elements would force an Arab consensus over the most radical position. So he set up the flight to Jerusalem and the rest is history.

Thanks for calling this out, as it is almost certainly against HN guidelines to karma farm or post other's comments as your own. Not the first time either, as I've seen people post links that were in OP as comments as if they weren't in the OP, as well as have seen people steal comments from substack articles and post them as their own on the HN submission of the substack.
The house panel report is profoundly flawed and used as a political piece more than as a means of real inquiry.

And the fact a lot of people from the US believe it originated from the lab doesn't really make it true. See how many people believe you didn't go on the moon or that 9/11 was an inside job.

It _could_ have originated from the lab, it's a distinct possibility, but there is no concrete proof. We do know it's not created using a gene drive though.
> I've read this whole thread twice and I'm struggling to understand what you're saying.

Join the club apparently. How nice.

> Are you saying that if all life is suffering then ending all life is morally permissible?

Yes. To demonstrate that the original, maligned comment wasn’t about ending all life because they hate life and existence. But in order to minimize suffering.

The premise is wrong from a Vedic perspective because it denies Moksha. But if you believe that Moksha doesn’t exist? Then it’s rational.

And the push-button argument will depend on what your stance on utilitarianism is. Specifically how you can make the choice for every life in existence (instead of them making it). Which addresses your question.

I’m not gonna answer that because that goes beyond the point I was making.

>If I was the US President, and I wanted to win hearts and minds in China, here's what I'd do. In every single speech where I'm talking about China, I'd make a conspicuous effort to complement Chinese people, Chinese values, and Chinese culture. I'd talk about how my Chinese staffers are the smartest and most hardworking people I've ever worked with (which honestly is probably true). I'd talk about how much my daughter is obsessed with ancient Chinese dresses. I'd talk about how I'm learning Mandarin in my free time, and have a live "Aw shucks" conversation in Mandarin.

It's kind of incredible this is a serious suggestion.

Speaking as someone currently involved in hiring for Senior roles at my company: We have hundreds of resumes, most of which are garbage. We're not seeing a lot of evidence of large numbers of people working hard to tailor their resume to the role, so doing so would absolutely help you in our case.

Even more so, if we got a referral right now from within the company we'd absolutely skip them straight to the interviews. Dealing with resumes sucks right now as an employer, and we want to avoid that stage as much as you do.

~1h a day, so half a month. I use my laptop far more often, so naturally it's a lot different than a phone in when I use it and for how long, and of course what I'm using it for. On most days my overall screen time (phones, computers, and all) is probably comparable to others', so it's not really too much to be proud of on my end. I like to think I still have an advantage.
> what should I be doing?

The current hiring market mirrors online dating.

Swiping right as much as you can (as a man) will get you more matches for sure, but is unlikely to result in a long term relationship.

There isn't much you can do. It comes down to two things: luck and timing.

I do think there are actions you can take to improve your odds, but you gotta figure out what will work best for you. If those actions were somewhat obvious, I'd imagine thousands of others are doing the same thing.

It didn't take long to establish myself as a relatively skilled engineer in a discord community specific to a mobile development framework. I was able to help many junior engineers solve issues. If I was looking for a job, that community may have provided me an opportunity to at least get my resume in front of a few hiring managers.

Me personally, with all these seemingly out of work programmers who are likely as skilled. or more, I'd look to network with a few of them and do something interesting. Start a programming community that lets engineers self organize and launch a projects. Keep the bar to join very selective much like those dating apps that target VIPs and elite people.

One of my favourite achievements of the past several years has been to actively NOT use my phone.

I started by eliminating social media accounts, which had an immediate and positive effect on my phone use.

Next, I set hard phone time/day limits: no phone while hiking, no phone while at a social meetup or restaurant, no phone while shopping.

Finally, I focused on what I should use it for and stuck to only that: checking work email when I need to away from a PC (but replies wait until I get to a PC), the odd Googling when I'm away from a PC, scrolling my tech news feeds once per evening for up to 20 minutes, and of course, missed phone calls/texts from friends and family (checked periodically, 1-2 times per day).

And the end result? I'm very happy with my relationship with this non-invasive piece of technology, mainly because I ensured it was non-invasive.

It's quite difficult to know if there's a good reason for a prohibition, vs whether it's just there to protect somebody's monopoly.

In a healthier society there'd be a smooth gradient between the layman and the professional such that B.S. prohibitions would be identified and removed by informed subsets of the population. But instead we have this very crisp boundary between the in-the-know and the clueless, and to be in-the-know is so expensive that one can't afford to be in-the-know while also not being on somebody's payroll--those tend to be the same somebody's who have a monopoly to protect, so the clueless stay clueless and the capable stay under control.

There's a lot of criticism in adjacent threads for these guys having cherry-picked the easy examples, but given the circumstances I think that that's precisely what we ought to be doing: Identify the cases where taking control of your drugs is relatively easy, teach people to do it, and level up gradually until that set of cases starts growing.

We may never get to the point where we're making everything at home, but if we don't at least take a shot at the easy ones then we'll never know where the reasonable equilibrium point lies (i.e. the point beyond which you should leave it to a corporation). As it stands we're letting that point be decided by people who have a conflict of interest in doing so.
> It's a bit odd that blue Massachusetts would choose a Republican, even a relatively moderate one, to replace Kennedy

It feels that way, but let's remember that Republicans have held the governorship in Massachusetts for most of the past 30+ years. That's an interesting broader phenomenon, though. A number of other states have turned reliably blue in congressional and presidential elections while voting in Republican governors. New Hampshire is like that, and I was recently surprised to learn that Vermont is too.

Trump didn’t win a majority of those who voted, let alone the idea that a majority of the country supports him.
I have not done significant research, but the more I have read about Jimmy Carter the more I am convinced he is very underrated, and the more I read about Reagan the more I beleive he was a bad choice for the average U.S. citizen long-term (e.g. destroying the U.S. lead on climate tech, and creating policies that ultimately eroded the wealth of the middle class)
Reagan was certainly charming, but I beleive he didn't have the integrity of Carter. While Reagan let dictators like Pinochet commit heinous human rights abuses so long as they were anti-communist, Carter put actual pressure on the regime and sought answers. I consider him a long-term thinking leader rather than your average short-term thinking politician.
I think that history will end up being much kinder to Carter in hindsight.

From my understanding, it didn't scan all of the files on the device, just the files that were getting uploaded to Apple's iCloud. It was set up to scan the photos on the device because the files were encrypted before they were sent to the cloud and Apple couldn't access the contents but still wanted to try to make sure that their cloud wasn't storing anything that matched various hashes for bad content.

If you never uploaded those files to the cloud, the scanning wouldn't catch any files that are only local.

In reality, in the short term, billionaires able to afford another stupid yacht or pad some offshore accounts. Corporations buying back their stock. In the long term, deficit spending, increasing national debt, jobs lost, cuts of public programs, and further decimation of middle class.

From the article you linked:

> The committee’s 520-page report, released on 2 December, offers no new direct evidence of a lab leak, but summarizes a circumstantial case, including that the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) used NIAID money to conduct “gain-of-function” studies that modified distantly related coronaviruses.

> Democrats on the panel released their own report challenging many of their colleagues’ conclusions about COVID-19 origins. They conclude, for example, that the viruses studied at WIV with EcoHealth funding were too distantly related to SARS-CoV-2 to cause the pandemic.

In other words, it's the same partisan politics we've seen since 2020, with very little science sprinkled on top.

I believe we grossly fumbled investigating the origin of the virus, but unfortunately this report does little to present new, conclusive evidence.
